Package Generator - E-Cap

[Tasse500]

Hi,

I am trying to generate an E-Cap package with the Package Generator.

I had a datasheet where D (Lead Span) and D1 (Terminal Gap) were given so I chose L (Terminal Length) as the optional dimension. However, when I provide the dimensions the values for L seem to be calculated wrong and the tool prevents me from adding the package because Lmin is greater than Lmax.

The tool is doing

Lmin = (Dmin - D2min)/2; Lmax = (Dmax - D2max)/2

I belive it should be

Lmin = (Dmin - D2max)/2; Lmax = (Dmax - D2min)/2

I can work around it by changing the values slightly, but I would suppose to change the calculations.

Thanks

Hi @Tasse500,

Could you post the specific Datasheet? Keep in mind that the letters in the datasheet don't always line up with what's specified in the Package generator, make sure that that what the quantities represent is the same on the datasheet as it is on the package generator.

Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.

Best Regards,
